Rebekah Wright
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Social anxiety can create a heightened sense of threat in social situations, often leading to avoidance or distress. I help clients understand how this hypervigilant response develops and work toward creating a greater sense of internal safety. This can support more comfortable and confident social interactions over time.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Social anxiety isn't shyness, and it isn't something you can think your way out of by reminding yourself people aren't watching that closely. It lives in the body, in anticipation, in the replay afterward. I work with clients on the whole cycle of it, not just the moments of avoidance, but the exhaustion of managing it constantly and what it's cost them over time.

Social Anxiety
Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
From an emotionally focused perspective, working with social anxiety involves exploring the emotional experiences underlying an individual's fear of social situations. Social anxiety may stem from attachment-related insecurities that leave us vulnerable to feelings of rejection or judgment. Taking an emotionally focused approach our goal is to identify and process these underlying emotions, which may include shame or fear of abandonment, that often fuel such anxiety. By creating a safe, empathic therapeutic environment, we will also work on becoming aware of any negative emotional cycles, like avoidance or self-criticism and work to heal these wounds and soften our defenses. As individuals connect more deeply with their core emotions and gain more clarity about their internal world it can lead to increased self-acceptance which enables individuals to face social situations with a sense of security, reduced anxiety and an improved ability to engage with others in an authentic way.

JP Robichaud
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social Anxiety can manifest in so many ways - ways that are often discounted as just being "too sensitive" or "a loner". Often the reasons for that kind of anxiety are based on formative socialization experiences. We can take our time and look back at how you learned to be in connection, and discover together what might be able to be un-learned.

Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leaving you self-conscious, worried, or stuck in avoidance. Our trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach helps you understand the roots of social anxiety, regulate emotional and bodily responses, and develop practical strategies for engaging with confidence. Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we explore relational patterns, self-criticism, and internalized fears that influence social interactions. Clients gain tools to manage anxiety in social settings, build self-compassion, understand attachment dynamics, and strengthen their ability to connect authentically. Sessions are available in-person in Toronto and virtually across Ontario, providing support wherever you are.

Joanna Szczeskiewicz
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety makes us feel like we are a walking target for negative unjust criticisms. Everything feels like a rejection or confirmation of personal shortcomings. Many persons with social anxiety create vivid images in their heads of how they might appear to other people and, needless to say, these images are not very flattering. Many cope by avoiding - giving up on almost all social connections or just that important presentation that could lead to a promotion. Many over-prepare, strategize and become perfectionistic. Many experience what can be best described as retroactive anxiety while analyzing the minute detail of an interaction that might have not gone exactly as planned. Some try to interact but then just freeze and soon after scurry away, feeling no better for the attempt.
Cognitive behaviour therapy for social anxiety targets unhelpful assumptions (e.g., "If my dinner party is not perfect, my guests will gossip about me.") as well as attentional processes (e.g., intense scanning of facial expressions). We look at the evidence that keeps these assumptions in place as well as their usefulness. Once we know that the situations that we try to deal with might be uncomfortable but not inherently dangerous, we move towards exposure. We craft behavioural experiments to further test the unhelpful assumptions and create exposure hierarchies for uncomfortable situations that we have no choice but deal with -- you can avoid job interviews or asking someone out but that means that you will be without a job and without a relationship. Each more difficult interaction serves as a learning step. We learn better skills to handle conflict or embarrassment. We learn that although uncomfortable such interactions are manageable leading to eventual decrease in anxiety sensations. Most of all, we build an ability to remain coherent under pressure and despite being judged by others. Some of these exposures occur in real life as you slowly learn to face your challenges, yet the bulk of them occurs in my office as we practice conversation skills, assertive defense of the self or engage in high voltage simulated arguments to inoculate you against the unfairness that unfortunately exists in the world around us. Most of all, we learn to not to overthink.
